SEEN THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL ARRANGEMENTS ALL OVER TOWN AND NOW THE POSH PETAL IS LIVE TO GIVE US AS HOW-TO ON MAKING YOUR OWN FLORAL FASCINATIONS. JOINING US THIS MORNING IS OWNER ANN BROCK. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING, COURTNEY. GOT TO TELL PEOPLE, WHERE ARE YOUR ARRANGEMENTS? YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN OUR LOBBY ARRANGEMENTS IN HILTON AMERICAS WITH THEIR IN-HOUSE FLORIST. ALSO UTE, A VERY WONDERFUL RESTAURANT. AND THEN WE HAVE VARIOUS PLACES ALL OVER TOWN, TOO. THAT IS SO AWESOME. THIS WAS A DREAM COME TRUE FOR YOU. FOR 10 YEARS YOU'VE BEEN OPEN, RIGHT? YES. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO? IT FELL IN MY LAP. IT WAS AN ART STUDENT FROM SOUTH LOUISIANA. I MOVED TO HOUSTON. AND JUST HAD BIG DREAMS AND I HAD PEOPLE WILLING TO TEACH ME AND SHOW ME THE ROPES AND THEN I JUST KIND OF TOOK IT FROM THERE. I THINK IT'S GREAT. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE GREAT ACCOUNTS. WE HAVE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES AND HOTEL. AND ONE OF MY CHALLENGES IS I LOVE TO HAVE FRESH FLOWERS IN MY HOME. SOMETIMES I'LL BUY THEM AT THE GROCERY STORE AND I GET HOME AND I PUT THEM IN A VASE AND IT'S LIKE, EH. IT JUST DOESN'T LOOK AS GOOD AS WE GO AND GET THEM FROM YOU. HOW HOW DO WE DO IT AT HOME? I HAVE A FEW EASY STEPS. THESE VASES RIGHT HERE, I JUST WENT TO MY LOCAL DOLLAR STORE AND I PICKED THEM UP FOR A BUCK. AND I APPLIED PAINTER'S TAPE AS YOU SEE HERE. AND I MADE A CUTE LITTLE DESIGN BY USING SOME SPRAY PAINT RIGHT THERE. JUST ON TO MAKE THE MODERN TOUCH. AND THE DOLE STRIPES. EVERYBODY HAS SPRAY PAINT SOMEWHERE. I FILLED THE INSIDE WITH GREEN MOSS AND GIVES YOUR ARRANGEMENT LITTLE A LITTLE BIT MORE SUPPORT. I BROUGHT YOU SOME CLIPPERS. I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU STEP BY STEP. SAFETY FIRST. TAKE THE SAFETY OFF SO WE DON'T CUT OURSELVES. REMEMBER, WHEN YOU'RE CUTTING YOUR FLOWERS, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A HYDRANGEA HERE. ALL THE REMEMBER TO CUT AT APANGLE, BECAUSE THIS STEM -- AN ANGLE, BECAUSE THIS STEM WILL ACT AS A STRAW AND IT WILL SUCK THIS UP HERE. I WANT TO SHORTEN IT. YOU WANT IT TO FILL -- RIGHT. THE VASE THERE. WE WANT IT TO SIT ON TOP OF THE VASE. AND HYDRANGEAS ARE SO GREAT BECAUSE THEY ACT AS A GRID FOR YOU TO PUT YOUR OTHER FLOWERS IN. AND WILL HOLD YOUR OTHER FLOWERS IN PLACE. SO I'VE PRECUT YOURS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF TIME. I'M GOING TO CUT MY ROSE AT AN ANGLE. KIND OF SHORT RIGHT HERE. AND STUFF IT INTO THE HYDRANGEA. AND NOW FLOWERS ARE -- YOU KNOW, A LITTLE MORE REZILIANT THAN WE THINK -- RESILIENT THAN WE THINK THEY ARE. THIS IS GOING TO HOLD THIS FLOWER IN PLACE. JUST A SIMPLE LITTLE TOUCH. I LOVE IT. AND THEN, WE'RE GOING TO -- GOING TO USE, THIS IS A BLUE THISTLE. SO WE'LL STICK SOME OF THESE IN FOR ACCENT PIECES. YOU KNOW, HERE AND THERE. IT'S REALLY EASY. AND THEN PUT THEM IN BETWEEN THE ROSES. JUST SO YOUR EYE CARRIES THROUGHOUT THE ARRANGEMENT. PROBABLY LOOKS BETTER THAN MINE. NO, IT LOOKS GREAT. AND THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND PUT THIS IN AND THEN YOU'RE DONE. YOU'RE DONE. I KNOW THAT PROBABLY INTRIGUED ALL THOSE DO DO-IT-YOURSELFERS. YOU HAVE SOME EVENTS COMING UP. WU OUR PETALS AND PIZZA COMING UP ON THE THIRDth NEXT WEDNESDAY -- 30th NEXT WEDNESDAY. WE'LL FEATURE 20 OF OUR LOCAL VENDORS IN THE OAK FOREST AREA. AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE OTHER SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE AROUND HERE. WE ARE -- WE'LL BE SUPPORTING THE WALTRIP JAZZ BAND. THEY'LL BE PLAYING. PIZZA FROM DOYLE'S RESTAURANT RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
